Be Confident

Confidence can be defined as a firm trust, faith, self-assurance, and self-belief. All throughout life, confidence is one of the greatest traits anyone can possess. Believing in yourself helps you rise above adversity. No matter the circumstances you find yourself in. You need to get your spirit up, by telling yourself, I can make it, no matter what I am going through. Get your hopes up. Be confident, set your believe on the right path. What you believe is what you become. Believe, perceive and you shall receive. The more you practice what you fear most, the lesser they become fearful. Always try something new. I mean do what you fear the most. Never rely on your weaknesses, find strength in knowing that you are an overcomer.

A Public figure and an Inspirational leader, in the person of Pastor Ray McCauley said in one his inspirational quotes said that “Confidence comes by building on your potential, capitalize on your potential. Focus on your strengths, the things you are gifted in and you will grow in your confidence”. And also some things happens in our lives that make us lack confidence in ourselves. Sometimes situations produce insecurities but if you have the endurance spirit, you can come out stronger than you thought you were before. But I encourage you to grow in Godly confidence, boldness and trust.

5 Ways to Boost Your Confidence

*Face your Fears: You want to be on the right path to your destiny? If yes, then you have to eradicate or cast out the spirit of fear in your life through Prayer. Ask God to grant you the strength and power to fight your fears. As the scripture says in “2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of timidity, but of power, love and discipline. Be confident to face your fears each and every day. It might not be easy but little by little, as you master the courage to do that. It is a gradual process. Building up your confidence takes time. The more you face your fears, the more you build up your confidence. Confidence is built not sold.

*Speak What You Believe: Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Think twice before you speak because your words might plant the seed of success or failure in every encounter you make in life. Words are everything to life. So mind the words to utter. Be courageous to speak life into the dead.

*Avoid Criticism: To boost your confidence in life, you need to forget about whatever people say about you. The perception people have about you, doesn’t define you. It is what you perceive about yourself that works. It is how you see yourself that determines how you will fight the giants in your life. Don’t pay heed to their bad comments about your life. You own your happiness. Choose to stay positive-minded every day.

*Visualize the person you want to be: How do you view yourself now? What about in the next 5years? What do you want to do in future? Some people tend to under-estimate themselves because they failed to visualize who they want to become in life. You need to understand that, whatever work you set your eyes on, to be in life, requires hard work and determination. Be encouraged, see yourself doing it. You need to form a clear mental image of the person you want to become. If you aspire to be a Doctor, visualize yourself doing it and work towards it. Never become relentless. Fight towards your set goals.

*Having Integrity: Integrity is defined as entireness, wholeness; the unimpaired state of anything; Uprightness, and honesty. Confidence means feeling good about one’s self. You can’t be a liar and a cheat and feel good about yourself. One way or the other, things will definitely go wrong. Be honest in all your ways. Have faith in everything you do. Make sure anything you do is based on moral principles. Have a good perception about yourself.
